Reversing fire damage in your Dobbs Ferry home is often possible without resorting to expensive replacement of materials or belongings. Restoration over replacement is a core part of a technician's remit. It can benefit homeowners because it reduces the expense and allows the return of sentimental belongings to a preloss condition. Restoration goals can include professionally washing textiles in the home or immersion cleaning for high-value items. Immersion cleaning involves submersing belongings in a tank of cleaning fluid and then using ultrasonic waves to generate pressure. The pressure works as an effective agitation method for removing microscopic soot or ash from the surface. 

• Agitative cleaning can be exceptionally effective on belongings that have high material density and, therefore, the ability to withstand aggressive action.
• Metal appliances such as stove tops or washing machines are prime candidates for agitated cleaning. They can often be finished with a proprietary polish to return them to preloss condition.
• When attempting agitative action on porous materials, they must be pre-tested on discrete areas to avoid inadvertently causing surface damage.
